Four days after the declaration (fatwa) of Deoband against terrorism , a regional wing of Ahle Hadees school of Islamic thought, Subai Jamiat Ahle Hadees launched a virtual jihad against terrorism. The president of the organization Jamiat Ahle Hadees (Maharashtra) said "Islam is the very anti-thesis of terrorism. The religion came to this world to finish `fasad fil arz' (terror on the earth). The Quran very clearly says that killing of an innocent is akin to killing entire humanity and to save an innocent's life is like saving mankind,''(11 ).

The following can apply to Muslims and everyone else. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu who is known as the worlds top diplomat for Islam said "Attempts to equate Islam with terrorism should be stopped. Stereotyping and demonization of Muslims should be combated,".Stereotyping and demonizing only help and empower enemies of peaceful religious practice (12 ).

Muslim and Turkish President Abdullah Gul said there is need to separate Islam and terrorism. He made these remarks to the Saudi Shura Council. He said also Islam is a religion of tolerance, peace, love and fraternity and has nothing to do with terrorism.
